It was the gas! · 8:01pm May 21st, 2012
I was talking to Derpy the other day, and do you know what I discovered? She has a daughter! I know, I never even suspected it!
Well, I'd seen Dinky (d'awwww) before, of course, but I'd always assumed that she was just a past version of Derpy.
With a horn.
Yeeaaaah.
Anyway, Ditsy soon removed that particular misunderstanding (with a mixture of physical injury and hard stares), so I got to meet the young filly. And lovely she was, too!
After some (belated) introductions, I showed her the TARDIS. Now, I don't regularly allow small foals into my one-of-a-kind, non-replaceable, priceless Time Machine, as you might expect, and so I asked her to please not hurt it.
That went about as well as you would expect...
BRILLIANTLY! She was calm, and polite, and didn't touch any of the big red buttons with Danger printed on them. For a moment I wondered whether she really was a past version of Derpy, but then I remembered what had happened the first time she came in, and, well... I got the stains out eventually.
After she'd gotten over the "IT'S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!" phase (surprisingly quickly, actually), I asked her if she would like to go anywhere. Usually, this is the point where my companions (Ditsy included) started shouting out weird and fantastic places for us all to visit, and we all had a big laugh and an adventure.
Dinky... Dinky said that she would like nothing more than to stay here in Ponyville with her mummy forever.
It was at this point that the TARDIS began releasing a colourless, odourless gas into the control room, which made my eyes water rather uncontrollably. I left, to... fix the problem, and by the time I came back, Derpy and Dinky had let themselves out. Good thing too, I never found out what was making the gas.
In fact, there it is again. Sniff sniff.

Huh, it seems like I'm making a weekly thing of this. Trust me, it wasn't my intention.
Don't worry, though! I'll probably forget at some point, and it'll be back to irregular updates!
D'aw. Say hi to Dinky for me, and tell her I picked her up a souvenir.

Wow! You work almost as quickly as me - how did you know to grab something?
Brilliant! That mysterious gas follows you too? Wait. No. It's still just following me, who is you, which is...still confusing. Anyway, that gas is seriously strange. I swear it gets more effective after I've eaten baked beans or something. Maybe beans have a kind of chemical that attracts this gas which is a warning to us for a major event in the future! Like that Bad Wolf message a couple regenerations back.

I... think we may be talking about different types of gas.

You're probably right. Wait, no. If YOU'RE right, then I'M right, which means...AGH! More confusion.

Well, it was nothing really. I picked up an interestingly-shaped geode one day, and I dropped it and it broke and I might have accidentally discovered the Hope Diamond.

Meh, I've seen bigger.
That one time with the Koh-I-Noor and the werepony... dude, you should have been there.
